Quote - It seems that (the naming) is DAZ's fault.

For Victoria 4, she shows up under the Figure name as "Victoria4" with subsequent figures being "Victoria4 1" and so on.

But, with Michael 4, he shows up as "Michael 4" (note the space), and subsequent figures get a higher number, like "Michael 5" and "Michael 6".

 

That doesn't seem like DAZ's fault that Poser numbers additionals figures incorrectly because it can't parse spaces when a number is part of the name. That's like importing crates and you import "Crate 1" and Crate 2", which are different types of crates, and Poser changes the name to "Crate 3" when you add an additional Crate 2 to the scene. That surely wouldn't be the vendors fault. DS adds a number in parenthesis such as "Michael 4 (2)"  so you more than one is in the scene. You should put in a bug ticket with SM.
